Arranging your care

You should always ensure that you have a written agreement with the home about the terms of the care you are receiving.

Help in making decisions

If you have a disability or illness that makes it difficult to make decisions about about your own health, care needs, finances and other aspects of everyday life then the Mental Capacity Act is designed to help you.

Information on how the act supports you to make decisions (sometimes or all of the time), or helps you to plan ahead in case you become incapable of making decisions in the future can be found on the Mental Health decision making and the law page
